    Switch to a chassis and accuracy

    Also consider whether appropriate to skim-bed the action and/or the recoil lug. On a Mcrees chassis it can make a difference.

    20 inch vs 22 inch barrel

    It's a small difference, unlike 18" vs. 22". 20" out to 600 should not be a problem. Wanting to go out to 800 I would pick 22". You may want to take a look at what guys in your area chrono at with those barrel lengths 20/22", with the ammo you intend to use. Then run a ballistic program and see...

    Chassis VS DBM
